Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006094615A1] The invention relates to a device for protecting passengers in a motor vehicle in the event of an energy input caused by a collision and laterally oriented towards a motor vehicle door. Said device has a connection structure provided with at least two parts, a first part and a second part, the first part being connected to the motor vehicle door and the second part being connected to an energy-absorbing region of the motor vehicle body in a fixed manner. Both parts can be brought together in an actively connected manner on at least one common joining region for the targeted derivation of at least part of the energy input acting laterally on the motor vehicle door, in the region of the motor vehicle body. The invention is characterised in that the first and/or second part comprises at least one transducer material which is subjected to a change of mechanical state, especially a form change, by means of the energy supply, bringing both parts together and/or locking the same together. The second part of the connection structure is mounted in a motor vehicle body region directly surrounding the motor vehicle door.
